Eclair Patches Lightning Bugs That Could Let Peers Steal Funds

Eclair, a Lightning Network node implementation, released a security patch for bugs that could have allowed peers to steal funds, its second security release in five days. Node operators can upgrade without closing channels, but must stop and restart Eclair to apply the fix. The disclosure is a routine security maintenance event for a niche implementation, with limited direct price impact, though it underscores ongoing Lightning Network security risks.
